Gutted they havnt turned up, please if they dont arrive soon, just go ahead without them, It was only a little envlope and not bulky so am sure it had the right postage on...I am waiting for a guest book I ordered a week and a half ago to decorate for a ruby wedding, and still no sign, they party is on SUnday...gutted.

OH MY GOD that is awful, I got the women at the post office to weigh them and she said the stamp would be fine, I will be complaining the next time I go into th etown post office...I am so sorry Lorraine

That happened to me once Emma, now I put a large stamp if there is any thing more than a letter thickness, its not the weight its if it goes through the slot I'm afraid, at least they have arrived now.

I know how you must feel, Emma - especially as you had the package checked at the Post Office. Next time, why don't you mark the package "checked for weight and size by the Post Office" - that way, they might think twice about charging at the delivery end. Edited to say that it doesn't explain why it's taken them two weeks to put the card through Lorraine's door to say it's there.

I love the post office but I do think they are taking the mickey charging an extra £1 when it takes so long to tell you it's late, I wonder if anyone's ever thought about challenging this legally, it's a rip off, wouldn't be so bad if it came whatever class postage was charged but it takes so long. Glad they are safe anyway.

Emma, please don't worry hun. Apart from the wait, which wasn't your fault, it's not a problem. It's not so much the weight as the thickness. If stuff moves inside....did she try it through the slot? It's why we always use a large letter stamp for most stuff, and at least then you're covered.

And that's why, if I'm sending more than one thing in the envelope or Jiffy bag, I stick everything down on a piece of thick paper or card. Some people have had some very strange eBay packages from me, when I've been selling off surplus embellishments!

I do that as well, including ATCs (me and Sue are still swapping)as things move about and can cost more.
